About the sweepsteakes win, Jensen said it was great to get ready for the SWC and district meets with a positive attitude and on a winning streak.

Still, he worries about maintaining a competitive edge.

“The students have had their material polished long enough that their performances can become stale,” Jensen explained. “It’s hard to tell a story like it’s the first time it’s been told when you have been competing with the material for seven weeks.”

On Tuesday, the varsity team was cut in half since the Southwest Conference and district meets only allow two competitors per event.

The next meet will be the Best of the West in North Platte on March 8 followed by Southwest Conference in Ogallala on March 11. Districts are set for March 20 in Gering.
